Zsh-autosuggestions: Incomplete suggestions - shows only first character

[StefanoFioravanzo]

zsh-suggestions shows just the first character of the suggestion and not the entire string. For example if a have a subfolder document and I type cd d it shows just the o and not ocument.

I tried to change theme but nothing changes.

I am on OS X using ITerm2.

Well this is weird. Can you reproduce with only zsh-autosuggestions sourced?

% zsh -f
% source zsh-autosuggestions.zsh

[StefanoFioravanzo]

Yes it as the same behavior, if not worse actually. If I type c it proposes d (for cd) for example. But then, if I have the folder Documents and I type D it does not propose anything!

[ericfreese]

You are aware it only suggests things from your history right? So it won't suggest cd Documents unless you've previously executed that command.

[StefanoFioravanzo]

Yes of course. But still it shows just the next character in the suggestion and not the whole string.

@ericfreese ok found the issue. Apparently the plugin was using a color identical to the background for the suggestion. My theme's fault!

Same happens with Solarized Dark theme on iTerm but i would still like to keep using the theme. Any way to change suggestions hint color?

@engintekin , thanks for the reference.
To save you from the long reading. The following command can solve the problem:
echo ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE=\'fg=60\' >> $ZSH_CUSTOM/zsh-autosuggestions_custom.zsh
